Dendro
Sword
Kirara
Cat Upon the Eaves
The nekomata courier of Komaniya Express is a Dendro shielder. Her Skill creates an HP-scaling Shield of Safe Transport that absorbs Dendro DMG with 250% effectiveness, which makes her a natural fit for Bloom, Lunar-Bloom and Hyperbloom teams that hurt themselves. Her Burst adds a burst of off-field Dendro, and at C6 she buffs the whole party's Elemental DMG.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- HP 35,000+
- Energy Recharge about 160% as the only Dendro, 100–120% with another Dendro unit (−10% per Favonius proc)
- CRIT Rate 40–50% only if you use Favonius Sword
Talent priority
Her Skill level directly raises the shield: level it first. A Circlet of CRIT Rate only makes sense with Favonius Sword.
Recommended teams
Nilou Bloom
Her shield absorbs the Bountiful Core explosions while Nahida and Kokomi keep Bloom going.
Lunar-Bloom with a shield
Comfort option in the flex slot (usually Sucrose): a sturdy shield for Nefer and a little extra Dendro. With Nefer's Ascendant Gleam, Lunar-Bloom creates Seeds of Deceit that never burst, so there is no Core self-damage to protect against.
Hyperbloom
Kirara adds Dendro and protects Alhaitham from Hyperbloom self-damage; Kuki Shinobu triggers Hyperbloom and heals.
How to play
How she works
- Meow-teor Kick (Skill), tap: a flying kick that deals AoE Dendro DMG and creates a Shield of Safe Transport based on her Max HP. Leftover absorption stacks onto the next shield.
- Hold: she curls up in a box and enters Urgent Neko Parcel for up to 10s, crashing into enemies for Dendro DMG, then ends with a stronger Flipclaw Strike. The longer she stays in the box, the longer the cooldown.
- Bewitching, Betwitching Tails: each enemy hit in the box grants a Reinforced Packaging stack (max 3), each adding an extra shield layer when the state ends.
- Secret Art: Surprise Dispatch (Burst) throws a package that splits into Cat Grass Cardamoms, which explode on contact for Dendro DMG.
- Pupillary Variance: her Skill and Burst DMG scale slightly with Max HP.
Rotation
- Short-hold E and cancel it quickly: you get the full shield and 4 particles instead of 3.
- Q when you need extra Dendro application or at C6 for the team buff.
- Swap out: the shield lasts long enough to cover your carry's field time.
Level her to 90 and stack HP: her shield absorption scales with Max HP.
Strengths
- Strong, long-lasting shield that is extra effective against Dendro Core self-damage
- Very low field time and easy to build (HP everywhere)
- Party-wide 12% Elemental DMG buff at C6
- Excellent exploration character (fast movement, climbing)
Weaknesses
- Low personal damage and weak Dendro application before C4
- Her teams usually prefer a second, stronger Dendro unit
- No healing
Notable dupes · Constellation
Extra Cat Grass Cardamoms based on her Max HP: a bit more Burst damage.
Shielded attacks trigger coordinated Dendro hits: fixes her off-field application.
+12% Elemental DMG for the whole party for 15s after her Skill or Burst: near-permanent uptime.
